Using earth orbiting satellites, acclaimed researcher
David Flynn has studied the high plateau of Bolivia and found previously
undiscovered unnatural patterns stretching outward from Lake Titicaca for
hundreds of square miles. The geoglyphic works range from arrow straight
parallel lines, enormous over lapping perfect circles and rectangles to
'labyrinth like' systems of walls and mounds extending over every feature
of the terrain.

One hundred and twenty miles south of the lake, spirals,
linear arrays and crisscrossing paths are scored into the earth covering
an entire desert. Closer to the lake, branching walls and rectangular cells
can be seen running vertically down hills. Many of these walls extend for
hundreds of feet or more and maintain an average width of 15 feet. The
estimated combined mass of the geoglyphic formations surrounding Lake Titicaca
is staggering, exceeding many of the greatest known constructions of the
ancient world.

Many researchers believe that the ruins of Tiahuanaco,
situated only 12 miles south of Lake Titicaca and near the center of the
geoglyphic landscape, is the oldest city ever discovered on earth. Consistent
with these theories, the Inca living in the region during the Spanish conquest
explained that Tiahuanaco had existed for thousands of years before their
civilization began.

According to Inca legend, Lake Titicaca was revered
as the location where the god Viracocha created a race of giants and later,
the first humans. The Inca maintained that the giants built Tiahuanaco
and also many other cities and structures in the area. However, due to
their great evil, Viracocha destroyed the giants in a world flood. This
legend is still believed by the local Indian inhabitants to this day.

The geoglyphs covering this area also exhibit extreme
age. In areas where ice age sediment surrounding hills and mountains has
been eroded by rain and wind, patterns carved into the bedrock underneath
the sediment has been exposed, suggesting their creation sometime before
the last glacial melt near the end of the Pleistocene era, c. 13,000 years
ago.

Early researchers speculated that Inca and pre-Inca
farming techniques produced the anomalous patterns on the ground around
Lake Titicaca, especially in the horizontal terracing found surrounding
the lake itself. However, the altitude of the Bolivian high plain presents
several problems with a farming related explanation for the majority of
the geoglyphs in the region.

At an average of 12,500 feet above sea level, most
of the shapes and patterns are located in areas that have not been conducive
for growing crops for the last 10,000 years. Their creation would have
required an immense workforce laboring for hundreds of years in such thin
air that altitude sickness was a real danger... literally, a super human
effort. Additionally, recent high-resolution satellite images suggest that
most of the features are characteristic of religious and ritualistic forms
of pre-Incan art. They may even represent a sophisticated yet unknown form
of communication.

The Nazca lines in Peru are perhaps one of the closest
analogues to the geoglyphs at Titicaca. Both the Nazca lines and the Titicaca
geoglyphs seem to embody a system of thought unlike any in modern times.
Their exact purpose and method of construction remains unclear. However,
many of the geoglyphs of Lake Titicaca were created by whole scale excavation
of entire mountainsides at altitudes of over 14,000 feet above sea level
where as the Nazca lines were etched superficially into the desert at low
altitude near the Pacific coast.

Because of the unprecedented effort and resources nessesary
for the creation of the patterns around Titicaca, they must have conveyed
incredible significance in the minds of their builders. In our time they
exist as one of the greatest remnants of any ancient civilizationů a civilization
that up until now, has been overlooked. In this light these newly discovered
geoglyphs most certainly warrant further serious scientific study.
